He plays big minutes for the Flames and is a hugely critical part of their penalty kill, where he leads all players in ice time per-games-played this season.Chris Tanev battles Elias Pettersson during a game against the Vancouver Canucks.“ not just the blue line, it’s your locker room,” the Flames head coach said. “Every coach has players like that where you know you don’t need to say nothing and don’t need to react, those guys take care of it.
So far this season, Tanev has been out of the lineup for eight games. The Flames have won only one of them. “Obviously, I’ve had the chance to play with Z a little bit, so we’re familiar,” Weegar said. “Seeing Tanny go down is a tough loss, everyone’s got to pick up a little more leadership and defending and checking a little better.
